One Philly, United City Citywide Cleaning

Philadelphia's One Philly, United City Cleaning Initiative has achieved over 200,000 quality-of-life services, showcasing its commitment to urban cleanliness. This program, running on a 13-week schedule, begins in the Northeast and concludes in North Philadelphia, tackling issues like litter, illegal dumping, and graffiti. The collaborative effort involves more than a dozen city agencies, emphasizing a holistic cleaning strategy. The initiative aligns with the Sanitation Department’s Fall Leaf Recycling Program, enhancing services to manage fallen leaves that can worsen litter conditions. Cleaning crews will operate a day behind trash collection to optimize their impact on neighborhoods.

Mayor Parker's vision focuses on making Philadelphia the safest and cleanest big city in the nation, supported by preventive measures and community involvement. The comprehensive cleaning plan includes maintenance of vacant lots and graffiti removal, illustrating a multifaceted approach to urban improvement. This initiative not only aims to beautify the city but also reinforces community responsibility in maintaining cleanliness.
